Mala....but this thread made me check out Hyperspin, and I must say that it's an impresive project; if they keep making "themes," this HS will end up on my cabs in about a year. |

Thanks for the feedback. --- End quote --- Since your the one who added Maximo to the poll, and what looks like the only one to vote for it. You care to explain what it is? Seems a little strange you start up a poll about best FE's, and put it there, vote for it and noone has heard of it except for you. |

It strikes the right balance of pizazz, configuration options, feature/functionality and overall performance. I agree with swaffar, HyperSpin is just too flashy and over the top. In addition, HyperSpin is not as configuration-friendly as MaLa and some of the other top FE's out there. For years I have stayed away from the FE's, and stuck with Mame32. Don't let any of the FE's fool you into thinking they are EASY to setup. While this might be true for some folks, if you have any incling of creativity and attention to detail, you will sink a ton of time into getting an FE setup and configured for your situation. With that said, having spend a ton of time with MaLa (and some other's out there), I am extremely pleased with the end result. :) The MaLa setup I have simply rocks, and has Mame and Visual Pinball all bundled together nicely in one cabinet. A lot of little gotchya's along the way (Mame, Visual Pinball, Mala, WinXP, Dual Monitors, etc) have inspired me to put together an extensive user manual which I hope to publish. If you are considering using an FE to spice up the arcade experience, be prepared to spend some time. In the end, it would be worth it! David |
| Visitor Q:
HyperSpin is flashy, even impressed my girlfriend and she knows or cares very little about this stuff. With that said, it’s a work in progress and has come very far already since launch. I still prefer Game Ex overall for its sheer function and features as there are many. Never used MA but it looks nice and have heard many good things about it ease of use to configure and use. |
